And then I already linked to my first comment in the other post. It’s this again.

My first memorable comment? Uh…

how k-rod dicked me over… again.
So some friends of mine convince me to drive from venice beach to anaheim (2 hours in traffic) because one of our female friends was bringing 10 girlfriends… i say ok. this one gal decides on national sports bar there because she is a die-hard angels fan (and, of course, a twit) and a game was getting out, and it was the player’s post-game hotspot.

so i’m sitting at this table with our friends, and this group of three blonde hotties was sitting behind us (yay). since i’m on my first beer and in no hurry to leave my table, i don’t approach them, but they keep smiling and looking at me. they also have about 12 empty amstels on their table. so finally, one keeps looking at me while she drinks, so i toast her my beer and turn my chair to talk to them.

all is going well and i’m ready to leave my table and just sit with them when one of my not-so-bright female friends grabs me to demonstrate to her friends how the rolled-up sleeves on my shirt are such and such length, and i’m trying to pull away to turn around and finish talking to these drunk hotties, but when i finally do FRANKIE F’N RODRIGUEZ has swooped in and sat right where i just was. wearing stupid orange tinted sunglasses. indoors. at 11pm. He also had kelvim escobar and jose guillen with him, so my plan to crack him over the head with an empty fizzles out. later that night i’m walking with my friends back to our cars, and i see the group of girls trying to explain to k-rod that no, they are not going home with him… i hate the angels.

oh, and ricki lake once hit me with her suv while i was walking past fred segal (she was just pulling out, i slapped her hood and yelled “watch it ricki lake!”)

I already posted mine in the other thread, so I’ll just give the link here:

I thought my first comment was about rain in San Diego, but it’s not.

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2005/4/18/214116/331#968605

But it was embarrassing. A typo, and somehow I didn’t see the reply button.

I’m sure mine was something stupid.

I quoted Harry Doyle: “One goddam hit that’s all we got?” It appears it was in reference to a game the day before where Jamey Wright pitched well against us.

What is really embarassing is my first diary/fanpost. let that be a lesson to the kids out there, don’t write fanposts when you have been drinking.

Mine was so lame: http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2005/9/29/213551/322#989252

longtime reader. first time poster. i gotta say that this site has been a wonderful complement for Giants baseball throughout the season. it’s made every win all that much sweeter and softened the blow of each loss (although in the way a pillow would soften the blow of a train). thanks all. Go Giants!

Found mine after some searching:

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2005/6/15/19454/4047

I made a post that Jim Brower was acquired by the Braves.

Rotoworld reports that the Braves have picked up Jim Brower for the rest of the season. I think this is a pretty decent move for Atlanta since Brower won’t cost much and most pitchers that Leo works are very solid.

….Minus that Dan Kolb guy.

lol.

Another comment in my infancy

At what point do we stop using Fassero as a #5? I like him as a bullpen guy or spot starter but I have no idea why we try him as a #5.

Re: McPherson gone
I don’t understand why Sabean couldn’t do better than 1 year at 425k. Especially when the Giants could have given him the starting gig. It makes no sense.

I can’t find it, but I’m sure my first comment, circa 2006, was either “huh?” or “dumb.” or “what?”.

don’t know or care to search for it, but I’m sure it was funny to me and no one else…

One thing that confirms how great I am is that my first comment got multiple replies (not of the TakeAGiantStepAndGo fanpost variety), while many of the rest of you were promptly ignored. Thus, I am better than you.

Xanthan, what was my first comment, again?

I lost my McCoven virginity right before the site switched to the new format before the beginning of last season. It had to do something with how Giants fans would react when Happy Pete returned to the cove wearing red.

My first comment was on why it was taking so long to sign Wendell and the Mad Bum back in August 07. Howie welcomed me “to the fold” and called me a noob. Those were the days.

A Giantsophile Memory. A little melodramatic, but so be it…

God knows why I took a liking to Dan Gladden in 1986. I was three years old, so maybe the long blonde hair did it. The next year, I remember being at a game where Mike Aldrete played center field and made a ridiculous sliding catch on the left center warning track, just in front of the chain link fence (a replay is on the Humm Baby 1987 retrospective video, the one chock full of Jefferson Starship tunes). I was four, so maybe it was because he got so dirty and people still cheered him. The next year, I watched a Beta video recording of Game 5 of the ‘87 NLCS every day when I got home from school. Vin Scully announcing, Vince Coleman scoring in the first inning, Giants respond with a run, four-run fourth, Joe Price relieves Reuschel and closes it out. Good times. Then, I discovered that my dad had also recorded Game 6, and, after watching that tape, I was never able to look at Candy Maldonado or Bob Melvin the same way again. 1989 came, and even though Kevin Mitchell was having the Proverbial Career Year™, Will Clark was the team leader, and at least one six year old couldn’t resist trying out his batting stance every time The Thrill came to bat on TV. I was there when Clark singled up the middle against Wild Thing, and that was that, finally convincing me. Giants fan forever.

Commenting on this post: http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2006/5/12/152257/357#1031984

It began so long ago…

I always thought it was this one: http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2005/9/22/12557/3380#986937

As it turns out, it was this one: http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2005/6/18/125213/953#974766

Ah, long-forgotten jokes.

I couldn’t even be bothered to comment on the actual team, jumping in with a thought on the uniforms…

Agreed 1,000%
The cream colored unis are iconic – easily the best in the league. I’m actually glad we don’t have a gimmick uni like the Braves Sunday red jerseys. An obvious money grab on the team’s part and usually poorly executed.

I have no idea how to use the search function. It says my join date was just last year…huh?

It was a comment on the day Timmeh won the Cy Yong: http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2008/11/11/658883/tim-lincecum-and-the-cy-yo#9951681

this appears to be mine:

dec 21, 2005. about eric byrnes.

Byrnes?? Now we’re really getting desperate. With the way that guy takes bad angles on every ball hit to him it would be a miracle if he could catch anything in center at Mays Field. We don’t need another backup outfielder. Sweeney and Ellison will do. It’s the infield where we need help. Next thing we’ll be hearing calls to get Shinjo back.

Not too bad.

My first comment was asking a question about Jonathan Sanchez in a gameday thread. Not too bad. Unfortunately, my next comment was defending the Matt Morris signing. Oops.

At this moment:
Benitez
Hennessey
Correia
Taschner
Sanchez
Chulk
Kline

Hennessey seems to be the only one who can find the strike zone if his life depended on it. Although Correia only has one walk this year, which is surprising. Seems like he is always behind in the count. But, (I can’t believe I’m going to type this) I would call on Benitez to close a game over all others.

On a side note, what’s up with Wilson? Hasn’t pitched since the 17th, is he banged up?

Under my previous handle One Flap Down. Changed it because there already a poster named that but now he’s never around. Should have just kept it. Damn that bullpen sucked.

My post to comment ratio was positively TAGSNG-like in the early days.

I made a post comparing Bill Swift to Jason Schmidt in their capacity to go six innings before I ever made a comment. THis was before I knew about baseball reference, so I’m pretty sure I was pulling this out of jcb’s ass.

I also compared the bullpen to a sack of dead hamsters. So there’s that.

I went on a rant about how much Grant Napier sucks and how Kruk and Kuip are the bees knees…funny how some things never change.

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2006/2/14/155252/165#comments

Mine was recommending that we try to trade for Andy Marte last year in spring training. Ah well.

I’m a little older than most of you guys, and have been here for quite awhile. I believe my first post was about Jon McGraw overusing Iron Man Joe McGinnity. You just can’t use a guy that much, it’s just a freaking nickname!!

Ha! Apparently, my first post was about where to watch the Giants in NYC if you are under 21.

I just started posting a few weeks ago and I still can’t remember.

Whatever it was, I’m sure it overvalued minor league prospects, cried about defensive deficiencies, and had a snarky Brian Bocock reference.

My first comment was a diary (that’s what fanposts used to be called) all about myself.

Looking back, that’s kind of narcissistic in a way…

My first comment apparently was my entry into the famous motivational poster contest.. good times.

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2006/5/20/205435/986#1035253

Then Bochy made a retarded move and I couldn’t stay quiet

a stupid bocock joke, what else?

My first posts were excruciatingly lame, as I tried dipping my toes in.

I’m pretty sure that millions of posts later, my posts are still excruciatingly lame.

If anyone else’s first post features Armando Almanza, Dave Veres, Mike Crudale, Brandon Puffer, Brian Cooper, Brandon Villafuerte and Jeremy Fikac, I’d like to see it.

Mine was taking a shot at Xeifrank in a gameday thread.

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2007/5/21/203526/544#1165476

See, I knew how to start off on a good note with the folks here.

But looks like the computer says it was in a gameday thread. I fit in pretty well I think. kenshin1 even replied to me! _

This is about the K-zone seats and Bochy changed the rotation. Misch pitched that Friday night and Lincecum pitched Saturday instead. So goes my rant.

crap, crap I got the timmy tickets when he was listed for Friday. I went to the first one and was planning on making it a recurring event. Damn.

I broke my silence to make a crack about Cody Ransom.

“Oh yes, the great Flapjacks McGurty. Better known as his nickname: ‘William’”

I think a greater possibility exists of the cessation of universal expansion and of the onset of a final cataclysmic implosion than of Fonzie actually reaching the 3000 hit mark. Seriously, Edgardo’s achievement of the above milestone will usher in the end times. The rules of physics will no longer apply. Black will become white, up down and neifi an offensive powerhouse.
  Surrounded by the dread sound of weeping and gnashing of teeth, we sinners shall kneel before the altar of Sabean and belatedly repent our misguided fascination with “youth” and “peak production”. Woe, the terrors that, stretching to the very crack of doom, unfold before me. Enough! My mind’s eye can endure no more.

“Sinnerman where you gonna run to all on that day [when Alfonso hits 3000]”- Nina Simone

Unless Matthew’s makes amazing catches above the center field fence on a weekly basis, he would definitely not be a prudent signing. The whole career-year at 32 thing smells fishy to me, and despite those wonderful sportscenter webgems, I remember some more accurate fielding statistics saying that Matthew’s is a pretty average fielder.

Nov. 10, 2006. Besides the unfortunately misplaced apostrophes, not too shabby!

thanks
I really like the new site. I hope it turns out somewhat like USS Mariner, only for Giants fans. Also, more merkin jokes please.

I looked at the first three days from when I joined and I couldn’t find anything so I gave up.

Mine was something about the annoying fox announcers.

I pimped D’Alessio in a prospect thread LOL. #1 prospect in tha system baby!

I was so mad that you guys were talking about how Matt Cain was sucking.

I don’t know what you guyys are whining about. Six innings of one hit, shutout ball with a 2/1 strikeout to walk ratio and a decent pitch count is so far pretty damn good.
I know that’s just the line, and yeah I’ll say he hasn’t looked overpowering today and the look on his face is a bit lost, but the fastball’s still hitting 95+ and there’s more life to that curve than I’ve seen this year.

Cain’s looking good tonight. I’ll take it.

I’m surprised. I would have thought my first comment would have been about Bonds.

I joined on 4/20 last year. Coincidence? OMG and I had 300+ comments in my first week.

First one was the GD thread that day against the Cards. Dirty was pitching.

Here’s mine…. I’m still confused about my line of thought. Oh well.

1.
i created an account to comment on this terrible terrible game. as greg papa said “the a’s can’t do anything wrong.” by extension, the giants can’t do anything right.

2.
i wish jon miller would come back. at least he gets amusedly pissed. papa sounds like he’s about to go grab a butcher knife for himself and dave just sounds like it was a bad day of golf.

Seeing I haven’t posted to the What brought you to McC anyway thread yet, I’ll get it in the 1st post thread.

I found McC while trying to find a reliable place to read about the G’s minor league teams without going to each of the team-specific sites. SteveS’s minor league updates here were exactly what I was looking for. Shame he doesn’t participate otherwise (unless he’s got a non de plume).

Anyway, I noticed that the site had a good blend of statBags, fanboys (and girls), pop culture geeks, and a weirdo or two so I went into full on lurker mode and started to read the various Diaries and main page posts.

I figured a thread would pop up where I could make a * me too * kind of post and ease into visibillty here. Here’s what I wrote in this thread:

Re: Two-parter….
Camper Van Landingham and William Van Beethoven
Seriously, Eddie Milner and The 5th Dimension (Kearny High School football field, 72ish?)

Grant’s question was:

1. Name a random ex-Giant.
2. What was your first concert?

I remember debating whether I should count the 5th Dimesion concert that we snuck into at my local high school, or try to look cool and mention my next concert (Led Zeppelin at MSG in 73 with a buddy’s older brothers).

PS: I’m old, but I was real young in 73.

Uh oh.

http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2006/4/6/133029/9806#1028712

My first post was a remark wondering when someone was going to catch the fact that Brian Sabean was wishing his players could just advance from second to first…
